Wind Runner Challenge 2018

A new event for 2018 Britannia Corporate Events, in partnership with Wolf Challenges, are proud to introduce the Wind-Runner Challenge.

Teams of eight will race identical yachts across three different race courses, as each yacht race finishes two of the crew from each boat will disembark and run three different run courses over three days. Times will then be combined, and at the end the quickest team will be automatically entered for FREE into the next event to defend their title! Perfect for company teambuilding or groups of friends alike, Britannia can set you up with a fantastic Oceanis 37 with or without a professional skipper (experience dependant)
